Ludhiana, March 3

Mayor Balkar Singh Sandhu said today that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) had approved four entry and exit points within the Ludhiana municipal limits on the Delhi-Amritsar national highway (NH-44). He also thanked Punjab Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu for taking up the issue with NHAI chairman Sukhbir Singh Sandhu in the interest of residents.

The Mayor said the entry and exit points had been planned near Dhandari, near SPS Hospital, near Transport Nagar and near Green Land School near the Jalandhar Bypass. With these entry and exit points, a large number of city residents using the NH-44 for travel would be benefitted.

Sandhu said they had been taking up the issue with NHAI officials from time to time.

Councillor Mamta Ashu said the service road near SPS Hospital had also been constructed.

The road was in a poor condition for the past several months and the matter was taken up with senior NHAI officials, after which it was constructed.
